One is the light source drive. The emergence of new or high-performance lasers, or a significant reduction in the cost of lasers, will trigger an explosion in the corresponding market applications. So - called, a generation of lasers, a generation of equipment. Thick plate laser cutting equipment quickly into the industrial field is a typical case.
Second, the system function drive. Now has entered the era of information and intelligent manufacturing. The precise controllability of laser processing makes it a natural terminal and actuator for intelligent manufacturing. For example, by integrating laser cutting into the whole production process, zero inventory can be achieved.
Third, processing technology drive. For example, high-speed cladding technology only changes some ideas of laser cladding, and opens up new application scenarios: not only the cladding efficiency is significantly improved, but also the workpiece deformation is small, and the cost can compete with the traditional plating process.
Fourth, market driven. For example, even with high-speed cladding, the manufacturing cost is still much higher than that of electroplating processes such as chromium. However, due to environmental protection policies and other reasons, the non-production cost of electroplating process is too high, so the overall cost base of high-speed cladding is even lower than that of electroplating technology.
